Hello and happy Monday!! ☀️ Today, on the #5minpodcast, I’m talking about something many of us experience every day but rarely stop to question: Are we managing projects... or managing anxiety? Take a look at your calendar from last week. Did it reflect time spent planning, making decisions, and moving your projects forward? Or was it filled with meetings, emails, messages, and constant firefighting? We’re all incredibly busy. But being busy doesn’t necessarily mean we’re creating progress. Sometimes, we become so focused on reacting to uncertainty that we forget our real job is to reduce it. 🔗 If you want to reflect on how to break this cycle and get back to managing projects instead of anxiety, listen to the full episode here: https://ricardo-vargas.com/podcasts/ The episode is also available in Portuguese (just switch to PT on the link) and on all major podcast platforms like Spotify, SoundCloud, and Apple Podcasts. Wishing you a productive and less anxious week ahead. 🔁 Ricardo #5minpodcast #ProjectManagement #Leadership #Productivity ProjectManagers PMO CareerDevelopment ProfessionalDevelopment Anxiety Focus
